LPF24 – Lucy Parham ‘I Clara’ with Dame Harriet Walter
May 23 @ 14:30
Interspersed with her piano works, as well as music by Brahms, Liszt, Mendelssohn, Chopin and Robert Schumann (played by Lucy Parham), this is a chance to hear the rarely heard story of composer and pianist Clara Schumann’s extraordinary life. Over 60 years, Clara Wieck Schumann gave over 1500 concerts, was a devoted wife to Robert Schumann (with whom she had 8 children) as he declined into mental illness and she composed numerous chamber, choral and solo piano works, as well as determining the format of the piano recital still familiar to us today.
Told in her own words, read by Dame Harriet Walter (The Crown, Killing Eve, Succession) in a show devised by Lucy Parham herself
